System and method for evaluating job candidates
First Claim
1. A human resource information system employing competency based performance evaluation parameters for providing an analysis of an object person'"'"'s competency to a client through interrogation of reference individuals, comprising:
- a data processor, a predetermined set of competency based questions requesting quantitative responses to provide a set of predetermined competency parameters for the object person, an I/O interface operable to transmit through the internet a predetermined subset of said competency based questions to a set of reference individuals and to receive through the internet the responses from members of said set of reference individuals, said data processor coupled to said I/O interface to merge the responses from the members of said set of reference individuals to provide a continuing cumulative quantitative analysis of each parameter in said subset of competency based questions, a client terminal coupled to said client computer to permit client interrogation of said cumulative quantitative analysis, said analysis being decoupled from the reference individuals to provide anonymity for said reference individuals.

Abstract
Human resource system for collecting and analyzing survey data from reference providers identified by a job candidate for use by an employer. The system sends an electronic communication to the reference providers to request completion of survey questions and electronically receives the survey data from the reference providers, preferably through webpages. An analysis module combines the received survey data from the reference providers and generates a confidential candidate report for an employer which excludes identification of any ratings or comments by any reference providers. The system also generates customized interview probe questions for use during job interviews and coaching tactics for use after the hiring, based on the weak areas that have been identified from the completed surveys in order to assist the hiring manager to bring the new hires up to speed quickly and effectively.

10. A method of providing personnel analysis for a client based on competency based performance evaluation questions of an object individual comprising the steps of:
-
providing a set of competency based questions requesting quantitative responses to provide a set of predetermined competency parameters, transmitting said set of questions over the internet to each member of a set of reference individuals provided by the object individual for use by a client interested in determining the object individual'"'"'s competency for a given position, receiving responses to said set of questions over the internet from members of said set of reference individuals, merging said responses to provide a quantitative score of each of said parameters based on the quantitative responses provided for each of the parameters, executing said step of merging continuously to provide continuous up-to-date quantitative scores, providing said quantitative scores to a client terminal to permit continuous client interrogation of said quantitative scores subsequent to processing responses from a predetermined number of reference individuals in said step of merging. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)
